The Sound Board

I’m such a tough crowd that I didn’t buy CSS even after all the lovely demos made with it. Why, you ask? Well, two reasons. First, I bought CSSS and wrestled and wrangled it into a few quartets. There’s some nice tone in it, but once I had nudged and nudged each friggin note, I realized I simply did...

Great, thanks.

Saxer, I’d love to hear a quick example of faster legato from you. I might buy this even if it couldn’t achieve it, but as you say it can, it would become an instabuy for me.

To be clear, I may very well buy this if I decide it competes favorably with, say, Soaring Strings. I’ll shoehorn it into my template and try to blend it with the outstanding SCS ensemble shorts. Once again though, I find the marketing REALLY annoying. Clearly this ensemble should be marketed as exc...

The price is even lower if you own SCS or SSS. I believe it’s $161 or $163. The collection is limited to legato and sustain, but is still offered at a surprisingly low price considering it’s from Spitfire.

I would be surprised if the legato offers any agility for faster passages.

I remember the obsolescence of thousands of dollars worth of SCSI peripherals. Also, ADB peripherals. Also ADATS, DATS, JAZ drives and….well, never mind.

I don’t know the answer, but it feels like SOMEONE is always conspiring to make you rebuild your entire f* king template.

I believe Jay is fond of the Seven Seas grand. I own the Black Grand, and though I like it, it hasn't displaced other favorites.

Sounds really nice.

Just for once, though-I'd love an intro such as "I'm mildly interested to announce..."

FWIW, I usually have to force quit VEP 6 after it has been connected to Cubase 10.5 for a while. This is on Mac.

I like your plan, Kayle, especially the part about assigning productivity time. Keep us updated about how stringently you find yourself able to stick to
it. HNY!

I had a large, somewhat open-ended project for about three months. I pumped out music like a demon...then it was done, and I...paused. For me, pausing is deadly unless it’s a planned vacation or something. I took short trips to Nashville and Vegas. Those were fine, but this unplanned pause...bad. I’...

Which is it, I wonder?

Thanks Dom! (and sorry for the confusion with Mr lofi) 😉 Your demo certainly sounds nice. Two questions: 1. Is there an option for a more soaring molto vibrato? Vibrato seemed minimal. 2. The languor of your piece makes it hard to know whether the legato allows for faster, agile passages-do you thin...

For the VERY reasonable price, I'm VERY curious what user demos sound like. I owe myself a treat this year, and I can't think of anything stupider than buying ANOTHER string library. If anyone goes for this, please post something. Working on a mockup right now. I'm fighting a few quirks, and I need...

Good catch Duncan.

Thanks for re-rendering, Luke. That faster passage sounds much better.

I've always found that LASS 2.5 was my most agile string set. I don't think 3 sounds any better in that way, but it was pretty much fine in 2.5.

Interesting-in the faster passage, LASS 3 actually sounds worse to me. Thanks for posting, Luke.

“If I install v3, does it mess up my existing projects?“

I want to know the same thing.

The words "odyssey" and "journey" seem so appropriate in this context.

Back to topic-Berlin strings are at a more reasonable price at 50%. I remember thinking that they sounded great when they first came out-any thoughts from owners? (Feel free to move to another thread.)

I complained about the SM to AM saxes cross grade price for YEARS. They finally caved and offered a reasonable price (it wasn’t nothing, it was around $100 I think.) I don’t do a lot of that, but sometimes it just feels unfair. I understood that they had split into two companies but it was essential...

Considering the bad luck quotient, do you suppose there will be a Cubase 13 or will they rename the program at that point, something like, for example...”Meta..”

For $295 (?) I would get a new percussion section, new and better player, new winds (they have to be better than the original) a few solo instruments, improved strings etc. the only thing that hold me back is the time it would take to replace Play with Opus in my template which really means rebuildi...
